Hello GeekofRigs
Please dont repeat the same question
Well, in most cases, removing the CMOS battery for 5 minutes or so will clear it (BIOS password) but not any startup password (as in some machines). However, in some laptops, these passwords are in serial eprom, and cannot be erased. It is permanently written to the chip. Only the vendor's tech support can get around that. In some cases, they have a "secret" password, and if you are the registered owner, they will have no problem opening up the BIOS/startup for you. In some cases, it has to be sent back to the vendor.

A lot of vendors are doing this now to prevent stolen laptops from booting up. On top of that, even if the BIOS starts, some hard drives have passwords too...

A lot of vendors are doing this now to prevent stolen laptops from booting up. On top of that, even if the BIOS starts, some hard drives have passwords too, which can only be overridden by the disk manufacturer.

So, try the CMOS battery trick, it should clear the BIOS password itself in many cases. Beyond that, be prepared to talk to the laptop vendor tech support...
